None yet, but we know how Doug (and Rob) felt about a Sheppard extension. We shall see.

On that basis, one could bump just about every thread here.
Please don't. There are election threads like https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/2025-44th-ontario-general-election-feb-27-2025.41232/

It's comforting to know you haven't changed a bit.

I think that posting in threads like this asking for updates on the project is pretty pointless, but who has bumped the thread? mikey7767's post was made only a day and a half after the previous one from ARG1. The longest pause in this thread of late was only 3 days!

Tory uploaded subway building to the province, Chow continued it with the NewToronto Deal. Actually just yesterday during a press conference Chow said she’d be open to Metrolinx taking over Eglinton East and Waterfront LRTs…I wish I had recorded it I couldn’t believe it. So it seems the mayors of Toronto are okay with Doug handling the building of their transit lines

Tory admitted to having a say in it. And defended it at the time. If I remember correctly, he was criticized for not bringing it up while campaigning for re-election. It was pretty much designed for Tory at the time with the limited right wing councilors.
Obviously the scandal that took place soon after Tory winning distracted everyone from the strong mayor's act.

It is a big financial relief for cities. Even Ottawa's mayor is so giddy at the idea of Ontario taking responsibility for O-Train expansion. A lot of funds are released that cities can use for other purposes.Tory uploaded subway building to the province, Chow continued it with the NewToronto Deal.

Yes they are okay with it because they have no money to build it.

It looks like Doug Ford himself made this a campaign promise.

Doug Ford mentioned that he'll speed up construction by getting shovels in the ground a year earlier than planned. (It's not like they ever committed a date yet)
No mention of the Sheppard West Subway Extension and its missing from maps pictured.
